 #### Arguments
 
-1. `reducers` (*Object*): An object whose values correspond to different reducing functions that need to be combined into one. One handy way to obtain it is to use ES6 `import * as reducers` syntax, but you can also construct this object manually. See the notes below for some rules every passed reducer must follow.

+> Earlier documentation suggested the use of the ES6 `import * as reducers` syntax to obtain the reducers object. This was the source of a lot of confusion, which is why we now recommend exporting a single reducer obtained using `combineReducers()` from `reducers/index.js` instead. An example is included below.
